So my truck doesnt have the DIC and its not set to high idle. Now seeing as its been well below zero the last few days that sucks monkey balls. The manual says to use the cruise buttons but Ill be damned if I can get it to work. Anyone got any useful information about that?
Also the manual says I need the DIC to change the auto locks but gives no way without. Can it be changed without the DIC?

Are you talking High Idle or Elevated Idle


If you don't have DIC then follow these steps to turn on Elevated Idle

(1) Turn you key to the run position (2 clicks)
(2) Push gas pedal all the way to the floor
(3) Press the brake 5 times while holding the gas down
(4) Release the gas
(5) Start the engine

If you have done it right it will show ELEVATED IDLE on the info panel on your dash.
I think the RPO code is UF3
For High Idle you must have that option when the truck was bought.

Again there seems to be lots of confusion on this elevated idle versus high idle. If your truck has the HIGH idle option you control this through the park brake and cruise control and you manually turn on the high idle on when the truck is running (key in the ignition) to get it to idle higher and then turn it off manually. The elevated idle is the feature which automatically ELEVATES the idle based on the outside temperature, not as high as the high idle option. The elevated idle feature is controlled i.e. permanently turned on through the DIC or through the pedals as previously mentioned. For example when I start my truck with the auto start it turns on and then a few seconds later the automatic ELEVATED idle feature kicks on when it is cold enough outside and it idles up to around 1000 RPM. But if I go out to the truck start it with the key and manually turn on the HIGH idle through the cruise control the truck idles up to around 1200 RPM until I manually turn the HIGH idle off. Oddly enough I learned all of this in my owner’s manual.

****in a it worked. Thanks

Any idea on the auto locks?
Your truck won't lock when its in park.

you can add the DIC controls easily for like 65 bucks. No reprogramming or wiring needed.

Even on lbzs?


Also I put a manual high idle on my truck, not sure if I have that RPO?? But anyways my truck when in manual mod goes like this. turn switch on it raises about 100 rpm. turn it up if goes to 1,500rpm. turn it up again it goes to 2,500 rpm. Seems most peoples trucks run at 1,250 and 1,700rpm with the manual high idle. So whats the deal with mine??? Seems like mine would be right and everyone elses is low considering it for running a pto

Bump. Anyone else experience such a high idle or am I the only one?
